Apparently there are some questions about the current supply of Intel chipsets available to motherboard manufacturers. DigiTimes is reporting that Intel's sticking to the story that there is a sufficient supply, though. Nothing like a shortage to drive up prices....

"Ever since late 2004, the shadow of an Intel chipset shortage has hovered over the motherboard industry. Although Intel now claims the situation has improved, motherboard makers still claim they expect to see a 20-30% shortage this quarter."
